Ja, es werden viele interessante Leute da sein. Zu dumm, dass ich zu der Zeit gerade in Boston bei OLPC bin :(

Markus, wäre schön, wenn du Luke Gorrie von OLE Nepal ein paar Etoys- Tricks zeigen könntest ... Ich bin gerade aus Nepal wieder zurück, die bauen mit Squeak und Etoys Lernapplikationen für OLPC, sehr schick.

Betreff: Call for Participation : C5 2008 + SqueakParty

Hi Markus,

could you forward the call for participation for C5 2008 to the german squeak mailing-list and to other people that might be interessed ? A SqueakParty will be also organized the last day of the conference. A first program is here : http://community.ofset.org/ index.php/C5_2008_Squeak_Party Sophie, OpenCroquet, Dr Geo 2 and OLPC talks/demos are already planned.

The people can register for the conference here : http:// www.cm.is.ritsumei.ac.jp/c5-08/index.php?Registration

Thank you,

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The Sixth International Conference on
Creating, Connecting and Collaborating through Computing (C5 2008)

January 14-16, 2008, Poitiers, France
http://www.cm.is.ritsumei.ac.jp/c5-08/

Oraganized by
Kyoto University Global COE (Centers of Excellence) Program:
Informatics Education and Research Center for Knowledge- Circulating Society
European Smalltalk User Group
Espace Mendès France
Viewpoints Research Institute
Impara

SCOPE

Computers, networks, and other forms of technology are now pervasive
in our information-based society. However, most users still function
as passive consumers of technology. To evolve into a true knowledge
society, it is critical that we transform computer-based human
activities to engage users in the active process of creating,
connecting, and collaborating together.

The C5 conference is for researchers, technology developers,
educators, and technology users who are concerned about developing
and enabling human-oriented creation, connection, and collaboration
processes. C5 is an international forum for presenting ongoing work
as well as new work currently under development and for discussing
future needs and directions in creative computing and multimedia
authoring environments. We welcome equally the submission of
technical papers and practitioner/experience reports for paper
presentations. In addition, we are adding a workshop track for the
third day of the conference and are soliciting proposals for
interactive workshops.

For the first time hosted in Europe, this conference builds on the
successes and high standards held by previous C5 conferences :
2003-2005, 2007 in Kyoto (Japan), 2006 in Berkeley (USA).

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest include but not limited to

- Development and applications of collaboration tools and environments
- User collaboration using 3D, multimedia, and animation objects
- Technologies for creating educational environments
- Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) and
  Technology-Enabled Learning (TEL)
- Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), distributed work, and
  virtual teaming
- Hybrid technology activities, such as scientific experiments,
  instrumentation, robots, and game playing
- Development of applications/content for non traditional learning
  environments, e.g. mentoring, peer-to-peer, "teacherless"
  environments (in developing countries), low cost and sustainable
  technologies, e.g., $100 laptop
- Applications and tools for education from K-12 through higher
  education, system design by children, digital library and search
  environment for children
